"If I had been born in the medieval times, my subjective union with God and the Universe would have evoked the rise of another Gnostic religion. But, by the grace of Mother Nature, I am born in an era of Science and Reasoning. Hence, I have dissected my own experience of Absolute Divinity as well as the experiences of all the religious giants in my works, in order to discover the physical truth underneath these apparently supernatural experiences."

"There's no reason you should write any novel quickly."

Reason

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Sometimes that's a year, sometimes it's 18 months, where all I'm doing is taking notes. I'm reconstructing the story from the back to the front so that I know where the front is."

Writing

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"It's not very interesting to establish sympathy for people who, on the surface, are instantly sympathetic. I guess I'm always attracted to people who, if their lives were headlines in a newspaper, you might not be very sympathetic about them."

Social

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Don't forget this, too: Rumors aren't interested in the unsensational story; rumors don't care what's true."

Rumors

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"This mannerism of what he'd seen of society struck Homer Wells quite forcefully; people, even nice people-because, surely, Wally was nice-would say a host of critical things about someone to whom they would then be perfectly pleasant. At. St. Cloud's, criticism was plainer-and harder, if not impossible, to conceal."

Hypocrisy

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"Life is serious but art is fun!"

Playfulness

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"What do Americans know about morality? They don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the Nicaraguan rebel forces after Congress has restricted such aid, they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive Congress-lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!"

Hypocrisy

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"All I say is: Let us leave les folles alone, let's just leave them be. Don't judge them. You are not superior to them - don't put them down."

Tolerance

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"When Jack Burns needed to hold his mother's hand, his fingers could see in the dark."

Observation

Quote_1.png
John Irving
"I take people very seriously. People are all I take seriously, in fact. Therefore, I have nothing but sympathy for how people behave - and nothing but laughter to console them with."
